This page is a resource for the Data Managers Role Group in the WISER Creative Inquiry, Fall 2016. Survey123 for ArcGIS: Accurate Field Data Collection Made Easy Survey123 for ArcGIS is an application for collecting data in the field using forms that are simple, powerful, and intuitive. You can create a survey in a browser and share it with your project group (or anyone at Clemson University) to use for creating data for your project. You can also download an app to your iOS or Android device and use it to download your survey for working in areas without internet (or in airplane mode to conserve battery). Survey123 is integrated with ArcGIS Online, so you can quickly map your data and use it in your project story maps.Accessing Survey123 You can log into Survey123 (as well as ArcGIS Online) using your standard Clemson credentials.
Creating a New Survey It only takes a few steps to create a survey. You'll need to set the title, add tags and a description, and then you can start adding questions and designing the survey!
Sharing Your Survey Once your survey is complete, you need to publish it. Once the survey is published, you can no longer edit it. Make sure your survey is complete and works properly before publishing. You can always save a copy, publish the copy, and keep the original in case you need to make changes!
When you create a survey, it is visible only to you by default. You will need to share your survey with your organization (i.e., Clemson University) before anyone can use it. Once it's shared with the University, anyone with a link to your survey will be able to log in and start using the survey.
The survey can now be searched and found from anyone at Clemson using the tags, title, and summary you provided. A better way to share it, though, is to get the hyperlink for the survey. You can send the link to anyone with a Clemson ID and they, too, can use the survey.
Using Your Survey Via a Web Browser Anyone with the link to your survey can open it in a browser, log in using their Clemson ID, and add data to your survey. Let's try it out!
What you will see is that you need to log in again to access the survey. Again, anyone with a Clemson username and password will be able to add data using your survey. Adding Data to Your Survey Using the Survey123 App Your survey can be used in a web browser on your phone, laptop, desktop, or tablet. Downloading the Survey123 app adds capability for downloading your survey and working offline. This is useful if you plan on going to remote or undeveloped areas where you will not have internet access.
You will now be able to use it just like in a browser, but no internet connection is needed. |
